FBK offers AI, Digital Twins and a Trentino pilot – AI-based advice for farmers and foresters (HORIZON-CL6-2027-03-GOVERNANCE-04)

FBK coordinates TERRAE, a Horizon Europe Cluster 6 project in which we develop AI and digital twin solutions for agriculture and forestry in mountain and rural territories. One example is a forest use case in the Giudicarie Valley, where a digital twin helps turn a vicious cycle of pest damage into a virtuous cycle of informed, preventive forest management. We want to bring this experience and these assets into a project that delivers trustworthy, deployment-ready advisory tools.

What we offer:

• AI expertise: large language models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over trusted knowledge sources, multimodal AI (text, images, sensor and Earth observation data), and trustworthy and explainable AI.

• Digital twins and AI: integration of heterogeneous farm and forest data into digital twins that support scenario analysis, early warning and decision-making for advisors, farmers and foresters.

• A pilot in Trentino: a mountain territory with intensive agriculture and extensive forests, where solutions can be co-developed, tested and validated with local end users, building on the stakeholder network and results of TERRAE.
